Main Conference Day 2, Wednesday, 5 December 2024

4:45 PM Expert Panel: A discussion with thought leaders on preparing for the future demands of Gen AI, focusing on sustainable and scalable growth

The future demands of Gen AI, focusing on sustainable and scalable growth, revolve

around several key areas. Organizations will need to address these demands to maximize

benefits while minimizing risks:

• Enhanced Computational Efficiency: Future demands will include developing more energy-efficient AI models to reduce the environmental impact of training and running these systems. This involves innovations in hardware (like specialized AI processors) and

 software (like algorithms that require less computational power).

• Scalable Infrastructure: As AI applications grow in complexity, scalable infrastructure that can support the expansion of AI systems without excessive costs will be crucial. This includes cloud services, data storage solutions, and network capabilities that can dynamically adjust to the needs of AI systems.

• Ethical AI Development: There is a growing demand for AI systems that are not only effective but also ethically designed. This includes transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI operations, ensuring that AI systems do not perpetuate biases or lead to undesirable societal impacts.

• Data Privacy and Security: With Gen AI heavily reliant on data, future demands will increasingly focus on securing and managing data privacy. This involves developing robust cybersecurity measures and data governance frameworks that protect sensitive information while allowing AI systems to learn and adapt.

• Regulatory and Compliance Frameworks: As AI technology impacts more aspects of life, appropriate regulatory frameworks will need to be developed and refined. These frameworks will ensure that AI technologies are used safely and in ways that contribute

 positively to society.

• Cross-Domain AI Applications: Future demands will involve extending AI applications across various domains, requiring multi-disciplinary knowledge and hybrid AI systems that can operate in diverse environments, from healthcare to transportation and

 beyond.

• AI Literacy and Workforce Development: There will be an increasing need for AI literacy among the general population and specialized AI training within the workforce. This is critical for enabling more people to interact with AI systems effectively and ethically.

• Sustainable AI Models: Sustainable growth in AI will also depend on developing models that can operate over long periods without needing constant retraining or consuming vast amounts of resources. This includes the ability to update models efficiently and manage the lifecycle of AI systems.

• Collaborative AI: Future Gen AI systems will likely be more collaborative, both in terms of how they interact with other AI systems and how they work with humans. Developing cooperative behaviors and interfaces that enhance human-AI interaction will be crucial.

• Global Standards for AI: As AI technologies become ubiquitous, there will be a need for global standards and benchmarks for AI performance, ethics, and interoperability. This will facilitate international cooperation and ensure a level playing field in AI

 advancements
